+# lidm
+Lidm is a really light display manager made in C, highly customizable and held together by hopes and prayers 🙏
+
+![demo image](assets/lidm.png)
+> this is shown as in a terminal emulator, actual linux console doesn't support as much color and decorations
+
+## Features
+* Builds fast af
+* Works everywhere you can get gcc to compile
+* Fast and possibly efficient
+* Fully customizable, from strings to colors (I hope you know ansi escape codes), to action buttons
+* Automatically detects xorg and wayland sessions, plus allowing to launch the default user shell (if enabled in config)
+
+## WIP
+* Save last selection
+* Config parsing, it's fully customizable, but everything hardcoded for now :)
+* Long sessions, strings, usernames, passwords... they will just overflow or f*ck your terminal, I know it and I don't know if I'll fix it.
+
+## Forget it
+* Any kind of arguments
+* UTF characters, I'm using `strlen()` and treating characters as per byte basis, UTF-8 chars might work or not
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> (they should add `> [!DISCLAIMER]` fr) I wrote this readme with the same quality as the code, behing this keyboard there's half a brainrotcell left writing what it remembers of this program, so don't take this to seriously, I'm typing as I think without filter lol, but the program works, or should. Also, about any "TODO" in this readme (or the code), I didn't forget finishing it, I actually don't care
+
+# Backstory
+I went into summer travel to visit family with an old laptop that barely supports x86_64, and ly recently added some avx2 instructions I think (I just get invalid op codes), manually building (any previous commit too) didn't work because of something in the `build.zig` file, so out of boredom I decided to craft up my own simple display manager on the only language this thing can handle, ✨C✨ (I hate this and reserve the right for the rust rewrite, actually solid). I spedrun it, basically did in in 3 days while touching *some* grass (:o), and I'm bad af in C, so this is spaghetti code on another level. I think it doesn't do almost nothing unsafe, I mean, I didn't check allocations and it's capable of reallocating memory until your username uses all memory and crashes the system due to a off by 1 error, but pretty consistent otherwise (probably).
+
+The name is just ly byt changing "y" with "i", that had a reason but forgot it, (maybe the i in *simple*), so I remembered this sh*tty laptop with a lid, this thing is also a display manager (dm, ly command is also `ly-dm`), so just did lidm due to all that.
+![think gif](https://i.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcTFzaGVmb3VjN3FnOXV6OG9rMG91a2QwM3c0aDV0NWpoZjFzNDEwayZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY/giphy.gif) <!--gif's likely broken-->
+
+Btw, this laptop is so bad that I can't even render markdown in reasonable time, I'll just push this and fix render issues live :)
+
+# Index
+(TODO, VSC(odium) does this automatically, I'm on nvim rn 😎)
+
+# Requirements
+* A computer with unix based system.
+* That system should have the resources neccessary for this program to make sense (sessions, users...)
+* A compiler (optional, you can compile by hand, but I doubt you want to see the code)
+* Make (also optional, but does things atomatically, make sure `gcc` and `mkdir -p` work as expected)
+
+# Compiling
+```sh
+make # 👍
+```
+
+# Configuring
+Ugh, config will be a straigh copy of config defaults to `/etc` I think, there's no config yet :P and you need to enable the service, just do what ly does (I'm doing this on dinit, all init systems should be supported).
+
+# Contributing
+Don't do this to yourself, but you can ofc, you can also fork or whatever (make sure to comply with GNU's GPLv3), but I want to do the rust rewrite 😡
+
+# Recommendations
+Hope you didn't expect actual project recommendations, but these songs are 🔥
+* "Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me"
+* "Avril Lavigne - Complicated"
+* "Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back"
+* "Rio Romeo - Nothing's New"
+* "ElyOtto - SugarCrash!"
+* "The Cranberries - Sunday"
+* "Goo Goo Dolls - Iris"
+* "Em Beihold - Numb Little Bug"
+* "MAGIC! - Rude"
+* "The Cranberries - Zombie"
+* "Natalie Imbruglia - Torn"
+
+Oh, an actual recommendation, if you don't like a element you can change the fg color of it to be the same as the bg.
+
+Also (this isn't quite a recommendation lol), the default fg style shoulddisable decorators set up in other elements (cursivem underline... it's just adding 20 to the number btw, so if cursive is 4 (iirc), disabling it is 24).
+
+Congrats if you've managed to read through all this, wrote all this in exactly 30min.
